Multiple 3-4 defenses passed on him. Why would the saints, the polar opposite of 3-4 front draft him?

Well the Eagles run a 4-man front but they can afford major DL depth so they can afford to draft him as a situational player

It's Carter that will be the difference maker.

An injured pass rusher? He's a perfect fit.

Hahahaha, you must be new... remember when we passed on Suggs, because he was a 3-4 OLB?? AND WE TOOK FRICKING SULLIVAN?

Dudes who sack QBs fit into any system.

He can't play as a full-time DE and we rely on full-time DEs who play both ways. It's how our whole scheme is built.

With our cap issues, we can't afford the depth the Eagles can

Nolan Smith is a pass rusher that had 11.5 sacks in 4 years in college

You goofballs would be crushing the saints for drafting someone with those numbers

Agree. You take the best pass rushers you can and make it work.

A guy who runs 4.3 as a DE won’t be situational. He’s gonna be on the field chasing QBs for their lives.

You take him and find him a spot.


Obviously our system doesn’t work anyway, the team is crap.

Bresee had 15 TFLs and 9 sacks in 25 games

Smith had 20 TFLs and 12.5 sacks in 38 games

Could give AF about Bresee but Nolan Smith ain’t it for this defense either
